Vimsottari dasa is the Nakshatra/Maha (constellation) Dasa that is based on the longitude of the Moon in the natal charts. Each Nakshatra (constellation) has a planet (or Node) as its lord. There are in total 9 lords. Dasas of these 9 different planets are for different number of years, but the sum of all dasas is 120 years. The order of the main periods (dasa) under the Vimsottari dasa system is the dasa of the Sun succeeded by the Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus.
